Dan Rafael: Crawford unhappy with the $, will not fight Postol

[PK3434]

Whats the rumored guarantee? If its around what he's been getting I can see him not accepting it.

Rafael said 7 figures and a career high.

[al-Xander]

It's what I have suspected all along. Just like the Loma/Walters negotiation.

How long would Arum be able to protect these hypejobs? Look at who he fought compared to Postol. Arum gave him Dierry Jean and Lundy, and Postol got Matthysse. Crawford vs Matthysse would have been the better draw.

[OnePunch]

He's getting 7 digits now. And if its still a career high payday, but only like 1.5M (when he's getting 1.2M for Lundy) then I could see an issue too. You can't pay a guy 1.2M for Lundy who might not even be a top ten guy in many fans minds & not expect to pay a guy a bigger payday for the 2nd best guy or arguably the #1 guy in the division.

The problem is that as an "event", Crawford-Postol is not likely to generate much more revenue than say Crawford-Lundy did, so where exactly is the extra money supposed to come from? Not to mention I guarantee you Postol would be getting alot more than Lundy did. Is the money supposed to just pop out of thin air?

It does seem that inflated purses in insignificant fights can indeed cause issues with making other fights, even though Big Dunn says this is not true......

[Larry the boss]

wow...........

[Rip Chudd]

what a coward, do your fucking job you bum. I hope ARUM ice this uppity ass motherfucker.

He was being outboxed by the average, chinny Dulorme as well, people will just say he was 'adjusting', but the reality is, it's ****ing Dulorme, you don't need 6 rounds to adjust against a C level guy like that.

Crawford is just a decent fighter and nothing more. Can't believe people are picking this guy to beat Pacquiao.

Crawford would have a good chance against current Pacquiao. Pacquiao can't cut off the ring, and struggles against movers.

Crawford would stand absolutely zero chance against Pacquiao. Pacquaio isn't Hank Lundy.

Crawford isn't a 'mover'. He's quite stiff and has very bad defence. I think Crawford would be Pac's first KO win in years, if he catches Crawford with the shots Hank was catching him with, it would be a very early night.

Crawford simply doesn't have any tools that would trouble Pac and even if he does, we haven't seen any cos he's been fighting tree cutters, which all due respect to those guys.

Manny Pacquiao wearing the wrong type of socks and suffering from legs cramps has way faster feet than Crawford and way faster hands... Seriously his best win is STILL Manny's sparring partner and that went 12....

This guy has done nothing but let me down since he burst on the scene with his win over Prescott.

LOL @ Crawford not being a mover.

Crawford has the tools to trouble Pacquiao. A good jab, good counter-puncher, longer reach, and taller. Pacquiao has also never fought a switch-hitter.

this is what happens when you pay crawford 1.2 million and lundy 150k. he wants more lundys! feed him those lundys!
